Almost done :)

Mr Juki working overtime :) I finished the in the ditch quilting on Ohio Stars and need to make and attach binding tomorrow. Yeah!



Now if I can get it finished by Sunday I'll have 2 quilts in a week finished. Woo Hoo! I forgot what a pain in the shoulder and wrist quilting like this is :( But I can see a finish in my near future and since it's late for the bday I want it done this weekend.
Especially since i need to do 5 charity quilts for guild to bring to the quilt show meeting Monday night ....

Ohio Stars

For the last week or so I've been trying to make blocks and hide them to make a quilt for hubby. Yeah he gets Buffalo Troubles but I wanted something that said "Dave" so I've been making Ohio Stars and putting the Masonic Square and Compass in the centers. I really didn't think this through ( as usual) or the centers would be darker blue. The design still would have shown up. Any how I finally finished piecing the top and wouldn't you know hubby came home early and saw it :(



I did manage to make the darker squares with quilting lines for the Ohio Star and pinned it. Since we're following the stitching lines I can't use the juki and the frame. SO we're looking for the juki's reg foot pedal and I will attempt to quilt it on the dining room table over the weekend and get it done by Monday morning
